A post-apocalyptic trip down an Alice in Wonderland type rabbit hole brings Sunshine and her beloved companion, Bunny, to a world lost in time. They explore this new world and find that its inhabitants are reluctant to allow them to leave. Scherer's writing is engaging and he hits the perfect tone for this story. Sunshine is a wonderful heroine; she is both brave and playful. Highly recommended." Available at: Amazon Kobo Apple Books Barnes & Noble Google Play Overdrive Scribd
